King's Quest: Quest for the Crown

The beginning of what was to become one of the greatest adventure games in the computer
industry, King's Quest: Quest For The Crown was first released in July 1983. The game was commissioned
by IBM as a showpiece for their PCjr and was the first game to support EGA color cards.

Story line: The King of Daventry is nearing the end of his life. Tragically, he has no
heir to carry on the royal line, and he worries that his kingdom will be left without a
leader. Daventry is already a shadow of its former glory, as the three treasures of the
realm have been lost to the ages. And so the king summons his bravest knight, Sir Graham,
and sets him on the quest - return all three of the lost treasures and the throne will be
his. Not an easy task, but the recovery of the Mirror, the Chest of Gold, and the
Shield take Sir Graham through perils and magical dangers, and forge a new
kingdom from the ruins of the old!

King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne

The first sequel to the original King's Quest game is released in 1985. The main character in the original King's Quest,
Sir Graham, is now King Graham, inheritor of the Daventry throne. But he is a
king without a queen, and his subjects fear the heirless fate that befell his
predecessor.

One day, Graham beholds a dreadful sight in the magic Mirror - a
beautiful woman held captive in a secret tower! Smitten, the king vows to release
her. His search for three magical keys will lead him to an enchanted land on the other
side of the world. To claim his future bride, Graham must explore underground caverns,
eerie towers, and ocean wonderlands. He also rides flying carpets and meets and mingles with
legendary characters like King Neptune and Count Dracula!

King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human

King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human was first introduced in 1986. You will step into the tattered
shoes of Gwydion, a young slave whose existence has been spent serving the powerful and
evil wizard Manannan. But now your usefulness to him is ending, and a landmark birthday
approaches - you are certain that Manannan will choose to end your miserable life that
day. With nothing left to lose, you dare to learn the wizard's magic spells,
explore the world, and finally challenge the wizard
to save your own skin.

King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella

King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella was first released in 1988 and was a very successful
game. It included new support for optional audio cards and was the first 3-D Animated
Adventure to use Sierra's improved graphics system, and allow the player to use a mouse to
move their character around the landscape. In King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella King,
Graham is hanging up his adventurer's cap for good! With his beautiful queen at his side
and his kingdom momentarily at peace, he prepares to pass that symbol of his questing
youth to one of his two children. But before he can speak, he collapses, struck down by a
fell magical disease!

Now his fate lies in the hands of his daughter Rosella, who must
journey to a faraway land on a frantic search for the one item that can save her father
from certain death. But when Good and Evil vie for the throne of Faerie, you can bet that
no task is as simple as it seems.

Soon, the ailing Faerie Queen has Rosella on a quest of
her own, to stop an evil sorceress from taking over. Only by saving the faeries can
Rosella save her father - but who's going to save Rosella from ogres, witches, and ghosts?

King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder

King's Quest 5: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder was released in 1990 and was one of
the first games released on a CD and was to be Sierra's first million dollar-plus
development effort. With 256 color CGA and fifty voice actors, King's Quest V shattered all
known records for computer games.

In King's Quest V, a year has passed since Princess
Rosella's journey to Tamir and King Graham's health has been fully restored. The Royal
Family of Daventry is whole once more and all is well with the Kingdom. But unbeknownst
to Graham, his beloved family will soon be in grave danger!

Somewhere far away, a powerful presence watches the castle of Daventry with
evil intent. Mordack, a wizard even more powerful than the late Manannan, has concocted a
dreadful plan: to capture the castle of Daventry and the Royal Family within. He waits
for the right moment to strike - when King Graham will be helpless to stop him. On that
fateful day, King Graham will return home to find that his castle and his family have
disappeared. Graham must don his adventurer's cap once again and find Mordack before harm
can come to Rosella, Alexander, and Valanice. With Cedric the owl, his reluctant guide,
Graham journeys through forests, across deserts, over mountains and oceans in search of
the evil wizard who holds the Royal Family and the castle in his grasp.

King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow

King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow was released in 1992 and was a great Epic, not only in
the Adventure gaming genre, but also what was to be the new age of multimedia computers.

In King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, Prince Alexander sits in the throne room of Daventry,
longing for the beautiful Cassima. Suddenly, just as it had done a score of years ago for
his father, the magic Mirror sprang to life to show him an image of his beloved. But one
look at her distraught face made it clear that something terrible had happened to her!
Immediately, Alexander sets off by ship for her home - the Kingdom of the Green Isles.
Rather unfortunately for Alexander, the Green isles are surrounded by rocks and reefs, and
he is shipwrecked. Washed up on the shore with little more than his signet ring and a
single coin, he must unravel the twisted schemes of an evil vizier, restore the kingdom to
its rightful rulers, and win back Cassima's heart... before she is married to someone else!

King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride

King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride was released in 1994 and was only available in
CD format. It not only set new standards for game graphics, but also rivaled or surpassed the
animation available on TV or film.

In King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride Rosella of
Daventry is reaching marriageable age and her mother Valanice hopes to find a suitable
match for her daughter. Unfortunately, Rosella has no interest, either in the men her
mother has chosen or in marriage itself!

As the two of them walk in the woods, discussing
this very subject, Rosella sees a small dragon sprite leap from a pond, leaving behind it
an image of a fantastic castle floating in the clouds. Intrigued, and feeling
mischievous, Rosella dives into the pond and disappears. Valanice leaps in after her, and
the two find themselves drawn into a vortex of magical energy and separated. Now each
woman must pursue her own quest - Rosella to save the Volcanix Underground from the evil
witch Malicia, and Valanice to find her daughter. Before they can be reunited, each must
cross the land of Eldritch, face the dangers of Ooga Booga, delve into the world of
spirits and legends and finally confront Malicia in the heart of an active volcano!
